TraderPat you're very hypocritical, not once have I called you out for your hatred of Trump yet I'm always getting called out despite posting numerous reasons/stats why I think he will win
Hatred of Trump? That is classic Trump supporter. If you don't agree with Trump or his policies then you hate him. I don't hate Trump I'm just trying to be objective.

And I called you out because a lot of what you post is from a right leaning perspective without being able to look at both sides of the argument. Most of the 'stats' you post are just opinion, you can find stats saying the opposite all over the internet from left leaning websites, doesn't make either of them right.

Todays the first time in my life I've ever been called a bigot or a hypocrite :D
For the record, it was wrong of me to call you a bigot, when I noticed your reply I assumed it would be a "well i think there is justification because" instead I was shocked by the attack & then the attempt at dragging another forum member in to support your attack on my logic.

Maybe I should of replied to the Biden picture & acknowledged my poor judge of internet memes, but I didn't, I also didn't try to defend my stupidity.

Anyway, i apologise for calling you a bigot, especially considering I don't even know you.

I'd much rather some banter than petty debates, its much more productive I think.

Don't worry about it I didn't take it personally. How about we agree to disagree and I'll try not to poke holes in your logic going forward?

That way we can get back to the task at hand of laughing at the state of American politics :lol:

A thread on politics, getting very political. These are always the most contentious threads!

I know it's tough to remain partisan on these threads. But seeing through the biases of each other is often the key to doing a really good trade in these markets.
could you give an example how it would help in this case? what would be a bias that would move the price at the moment?

Interesting tweet from Trump -

"Don't be afraid of COVID. Don't let it dominate your life"

I agree with this, depends whether the American people will, perhaps they will if none of his staff get very ill too.

The comment section of that Tweet is gonna be a bloodbath, the media is about to melt and every Goverment around the world is gonna be scratching their heads at how they're gonna contradict the President in a politically correct way. The next few days are gonna be hyperbolic.
